White House: Obama to accept Nobel as a “war president”

"I’m intrigued. Tom Friedman wrote a column back in October calling on him to accept the award in the name of the U.S. military — a 'peacekeeper’s prize,' as Friedman put it — and while I doubt The One will go quite that far, it sounds like he’s planning something like that. Having Captain Hopenchange take the stage at Oslo and shock the congregation of doves with a tribute to peace through strength would be the most surreal moment of his presidency thus far. And probably the finest."
